LEATHERHEADS, THE RUINS, MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, AND SHINE A LIGHT
opens on April 4th

There's a something for everyone to see this week as George Clooney takes up sports in 'Leatherheads' with Renee Zellweger, while 'The Ruins' centers on a group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they accompany a fellow tourist on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the Ruins. Singer Sensation Norah Jones make her film debut in 'My Blueberry Nights' while The Rolling Stones stick to their day job with Martin Scorsese capturing them in concert in 'Shine A Light.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
My Blueberry Nights(in Film)

The film was not a vehicle for its impressive veteran cast to showcase their talent. The characters were poorly developed and felt one dimensional.

 

Skid Row (in Film)

An eye-opening documentary which paints a good picture of what life is like for today’s hobos.

 

Stop Loss (in Film)

Well-scripted and convincingly executed, this raw, super-realistic thriller is made all the more riveting by the sense you get that very similar scenarios are likely currently unfolding all across America

 

Run, Fatboy, Run (in Film)

Run, Fatboy, Run is well enough crafted to keep you in stitches while on the edge of your seat for the duration, even if this laff-a-minute escape is more mindless than cerebral.

 

Flawless(in Film)

This multi-layered whodunit is masterfully-constructed to keep you confounded and guessing about the next bizarre twist from start to finish.

 

TYLER PERRY’S MEET THE BROWNS (in Film)

Overall, ‘Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns’ is not as multi-layered and spiritual uplifting as a the previous films, but it will still appeal to his usual fan base.

 

Irina Palm (in Film)

A thought-provoking drama, which arrives in a timely fashion, given these dire days of skyrocketing medical costs and a governor caught consorting with high-priced call girls.

 

Love Songs (in Film)

Why make a movie about bohemian swingers, if all you’re going to serve up is the French equivalent of a Broadway musical?

 

dPlanet B-Boy (in Film)

An exhilarating homage which deservedly elevates the rubber-limbed performers to the level of world-class gymnasts.

 

d I Am Legend DVD review (in Film)

Unfortunately, the second-rate special effects leave a lot to be desired, so the arrival of the cheesy monsters he has to wrestle with fails to measure up to the tension built in anticipation.

 

Never Back Down (in Film)
The Karate Kid joins the Fight Club and kicks butt!

 

Funny Games (in Film)
Naomi Watts might want to fire her agent for attaching her to this infuriating fiasco. Walk-out bad.

 

Wetlands Preserved (in Film)
Wetlands Preserved is a fitting tribute to those intrepid souls who dared to try to carve out an altruistic utopian escape right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of a most materialistic metropolis.

 

College Road Trip (in Film)
More funereal than comical, with a universal message that gets lost in the shuffle.

 

SEMI-PRO (in Film)
Another goofy spoof strictly for the Ferrell faithful who ostensibly never tire of such bottom-feeding fare
